Hi Gang,
Well, have turned to putty after 3-4 days on my back reading everything possible about washers and of course getting my head turned earlier on toward the SQ toppers. Can't do no more and have to get back to work or starve so hoping like the dickens that you can all pitch in and answer these unknowns.
Have read many places, incuding most of Amazon reviews and many of threads here. I understand the durability claims on the SQ, and appreciate that the water level can be raised permanently and the lid switch bypassed and the rinse water temp setting changed. All great stuff and very attractive.
But don't get:
* At least one person (Frigilux) has mentioned a roughness in drum (seen in store model) that could cause tearing of material he thought but no report from him on results. Others on Amazon have reported tearing of clothes without apparently being aware of a cause. Maybe that's the reason
A very long trip for me to look at one, and then must make quick decision to buy or not. So does anyone have more info on this imperfection and idea how common it is in last year and advice as to whether is safe to buy one like this?
* Grease in drum. One fellow on Amazon said even after several months still getting some smudges even tho did all the recommended cleaning. Some mention of issue in this group also. So, is this absurdity still happening all the time or randomly or not at all and is it just a minor nuisance or a life shattering, disemboweling, apocalyptic nightmare? Like you know, in 2014.
* Service manual. Not available specifically for AWN/AWS I can see. Amazing. Too bad. Main trouble is this: Some people here have said you can at least get a manual for closely related machines but the links offered, like to servicematters.com either don't work or don't produce.
Called SQ about top two issues. Answers were inconclusive. Maybe got wrong person. Can't believe I'm still looking at these people.
In the old normal these things would have quickly killed all thought of SQ but now with the apparent total insanity that the rest of the washer world has become the good soldier apparently needs to persevere. And perhaps for nought, if, as it seems from this debacle alone, the end of time approacheth, clad in dirty clothes to boot. lol
Anyway, appreciate the passion for this and the effort put out on this very necessary forum by so many here. Thanks in advance for any perspective you can share. If not before, I will pipe up if I buy after have enough experience to contribute. It is a rather fascinating subject and I can see that the pursuit (if not achievement) of the perfect spinner could become enticing enough to allow some satisfaction. Next life maybe I'll line them up. This one, too late.
Salute
